Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting Community Development and Social Impact

Abstract

This study deals with the prevalence and drivers of social entrepreneurship across countries.Unique large-scale and internationally comparable data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2009 covering 49 countries at different stages of development are used as our main data source.Hypotheses are generated from a multitude of theoretical perspectives including the failure thesis, interdependence theory, welfare state theory and supply-side theory.As regards the antecedents of the occurrence of social entrepreneurship, our findings suggest above all that social entrepreneurship is a phenomenon driven by wealth.In addition, we find a positive association between government expenditure on welfare and the prevalence of social entrepreneurship which assumes a relation of interdependence and partnership between government and social organizations.This finding supports the interdependence theory.With respect to cultural values, we postulate that a society's level of individualism can be considered to be a driver of social entrepreneurship.This suggests that in societies where ties between individuals are loose, social entrepreneurship is more widespread.
